Loved it
I love, love, LOVED this drama! Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo is an OG K-drama for a reason.
I'd been avoiding this drama for years because the title sounded a little lame, and I wasn't particularly excited about a tomboy female lead. But wow... was I wrong! Within the first 20 minutes, I was completely invested to watch her.
Yes, she's a tomboy, but she's also the sweetest, softest, and most lovable person. She looks like a tomboy just from outside but such a girlie inside. She's strong without losing her femininity, goofy without being annoying, and incredibly kind-
hearted. It's impossible not to root for her.
This is another “Friends to lovers”story but I wouldn’t say that they were that close friends. Instead it is more like a reconnection with an old childhood friend. It’s a simple feel good romcom nothing too complicated. Plus it has a touch of sports. I am not into sports but it doesn’t get
too complicated with those things.
Nonetheless the chemistry between the leads is absolutely adorable, and you'll find yourself falling in love with them before you even realize it. And the romance? It's refreshingly natural, never corny or cringe. It leaves you with the biggest smile on your face.
And Nam Joo-hyuk... you gorgeous man! 😭❤️ I didn’t considered him the usual handsome type , but I wasn't expecting him to steal the show with his looks and that body.
This is the kind of feel-good K-drama that reminds you why so many people fell in love with K-dramas in the first place.
